VAMWorld 2.0

I have a pci64 “vam 50a” that i rexamined and found it not to be. No die scrathes, die cracks, mm placement not a match, and then i found another but sunday. N st position appears to be the same and both show part of the I. Leaf(wreath) clash behind head is prettmuch like the 33a picture. I was told...

WOW! Thats a monster strike for an early s mint. To see one side. Fully strike is nice but both sides? That’s incredible.

Ngc is already getting blasted on Facebook coin forums for the contiual incompetence in the (mis) attribution department. They continue to get worse, and the way they are treated those whose coins they either misattributed or denied that they were varieties at all is disgusting. I keep telling peopl...

Ya just couldn’t find an ugly one. It had to have gorgeous color. Go ahead and rub it in.

Picking has been really tough for awhile but i am still pickin and grinnin.found an au55 1889o v1a1, 1921s I clash(2ce? I forgot. Thornhead eds. Unc.). Found a 1945p 5c fs-801 ddr 1 in a bu warnickel set yesterday. And a 1942p fs-501 anacs 64 attributed as an rpm 8 too. Tough coin. Maybe I’ll look a...

Great coin. I have two of them is the same stage. I refer to them as retained cuds(rim still shows). I have seen 1 in full cud mode.

Wow! That is horrible. I am sorry to hear that brent. I just did a show in livinia michigan sunday. At the end of the show while there were few of us left, this gupsy looking guy comes and asks if i have any gold. I say no and he takes off to another table fast. He goes to mike strub’s table and i s...

I had a fantastic show. I sold boxes of stuff, vams, varieties, rainbow toners, etc. and i picked a very large amount of stuff. Found some really good vams and varieties!Food and company was great, motely crew cover band was painfully loud and annoying. On my way to thai food tuesday night(?) my car...

@morganman that was a vam 4 eds ngc62dmpl, and i helped get it from logan to ash. and as been said, pl or dmpl is separate from grade. pl and dmpl has to do with reflectivity.

i can see what you see(but could not before) but the gouges in the lower hair are what leroy and i saw.

on other series, we refer to die chips as die breaks. small, or large depending on the size. or are we referring to radial, or curving ones? are not chips where a piece of the die has broken away?

i had an 1878 v14.12 that was anacs au58 dmpl. so i cannot see why not as long as the mirrors are not damaged.

I have a table again and will be there monday-friday.

I would call it improperly annealed die.

78s v96 should never have been removed. I still have the vam 96 79s and it has die gouges in the lower hair that i have never been seen on vam 43.

several vam 13, and vam 11's have been examined< and they were found to be misattributed. i believe the vam 13's were vam 14.4. it's been awhile since we discussed these. a number of coins have been delisted due to improper attributions initially.

fogie VAM 8? well, that surely is interesting. and here i thought this was one of the pieces that i sold to mark kimpton. i have looked at the pictures and wondered about that tripled eyelid. not sure who i talked to about it but i wondered if it was a very well placed and spaced hit. i might see i...

@JackBnimble01 you mean like Libya? i.m sure we could come up with other examples. but it isn't necessary.

wish someone could locate my vam 85 discovery piece. i will try to contact larry briggs about the v104 discovery piece. could the owner of the v91 discovery piece come forward and show it so that could be settled?

I have 2 1878s v96. Every v67/104 that i have seen has the same obverse/reverse markers. All are vam 67 in my book. V85 was my discovery and was sold to mark kimpton eons ago for a pittance but i have no idea who he sold it to. I do not believe that it is possible for vam 91 to exist. I have seen ma...
